Abstract (en)

A user interface and a method for providing the user interface is disclosed. In the method a user is provided with a view (11). A real world object (20) that is visible in the view is then selected. A virtual object (22') is also displayed for the user, said virtual object being associated with an action. The user may select the action by moving the view (11) and the virtual object (22') relative to the object (20) such that the object and the virtual object become associated with each other. The user interface may comprise display means enabling the user to see the real world object through the display means. The display means may comprise a head mounted display or a hand-held display.
